Coonawarra is "the finest red wine region" (Times) in Oz and Jack Burston grows some of its best grapes. He used to sell them to a big, premium brand, but was delighted when RedHeads wanted to bottle them solo. A dark cherry, spice-filled beaut.

This is a cracking Cabernet from RedHeads, a leading eco-friendly boutique winery in Oz. The winery was started in 2002 in the McLaren Vale - a cellar where young winemakers could come in their spare time and make just the sort of small scale wine they dreamed of. Since then, the winery has put down real roots in the Barossa, very nearly 100% off-grid, thanks to its solar panels, and nearly self sufficient on recycled water. There, surrounded by many major Aussie producers, they rescue small parcels of terrific grapes and make showstopping wines. Catbird Seat is a standout – all the grapes from Jack Burston's cracking Coonawarra vineyard. RedHeads bagged them and has done him proud. Aged a year in French oak, it's a big, bold red.
